apologies in advance for a question that i'm sure has been answered 10,000 times before (tried to find old threads... im a terrible searcher).
simple question - i have an old iphone 4 (maybe it's a 4s) laying around that my dad bought about a yr ago to send abroad to his nephew in russia. in the box is an att sim card and the phone has a sim card slot (dont mean to sound like an idiot but does this mean its international or something? i've only ever had my iphone 4 which doesn't have a sim card slot so i assumed other US phones dont either?). the gift idea for the nephew fell through so it's just been gathering dust. last wk he called att to ask if he can use this phone on our family verizon plan and they said no its not compatible.
is there something i can do to make it work for us? its a particularly simple case because my dad doesnt want or need the data plan so it would strictly be used for calling. long story short - can an att sim card phone be changed to work on a verizon plan (phone only, no data?).
thanks everyone
